Benjamin Dangl, Truthout: "The new documentary, 'Beyond Elections: Redefining Democracy in the Americas,' proves that democracy can and should be more than casting a ballot every four years. This empowering film gives hopeful and concrete examples from around the Americas of people taking back the reins of power and governing their own communities. 'Beyond Elections' is a road map for social change, drawing from communal councils in Venezuela and social movements in Bolivia to participatory budgeting in Brazil and worker cooperatives in Argentina." 

Note: Filmed & produced by Michael Fox.
